Hello hello hello!
Ok I know I have been missing for some time and I do apologize and all but as you may remember I had this thing called a baby. Just so you know she is adorable and I am of course wrapped up in her and the boys all the time so it can be a bit much to think of actually getting back to work. But I have to start eventually! Here goes!

First, I have been busy with crafts, learning new stuff or just making stuff for the kids. I just haven't taken pictures... Yes I have a camera full of pictures of a cute baby girl and her brothers but non of those tulle balls, tutus, blanket, crocheted blankets( so not finished either! ) or wreath mobile I made... Must remedy that!

Second, I missed you all... I tried to keep reading blogs and keeping in the "know" but ahhh it is so time consuming. I miss the design teams but I think I am going to venture forth with the knowledge I learned from everyone and put something together that is just my own... Stay tuned for info! Working out the kinks in my head.

Third, I have had a few medical things come up in the past few months that make me think about things even more than normal and put things in perspective. My family means the world to me, No one can take that from me.

Lastly for today... I just wanted to say thank you to you all for sticking it out the past few months. It really means a lot to me! Hugs

Stay tuned for more of my adventures coming soon... Ok really soon you will be able to look and sol

I made a treat purse to stuff some goodies into.
This purse is made from the Tags, Bags, Boxes & more Cartridge.
I used some Metallic Pearl White paper by the paper company.
I used tulle and made a bow then used some metallic rick rack to make the purse handle.

I added the digi stamp collage to the purse flap.
Then I added some more Tulle ( which I Stapled to the purse)
I also added Rosettes & some String Pearls.
I also used the Hydrangea edge punch by Martha Stuart &
added some I-Rock Rhinestones to the purse flap.

On the back side of the Purse I used a Fiskers Babies Sentiment because it talks about fairies.
I also used some more I-Rock Rhinestones scattered about.

I just love how this little project turned out.

OK that is it for today! Look forward to seeing all your work in the challenge this month!
GOOD LUCK!!

Hello Everyone! =D
I cannot belive it's FRIDAY already!
Where did the week go??
Well for me anyway the Blizzard snowed us in. No school or work everyone was home!
I worked on some projects got caught up on laundry and did a whole lot of dishes..
One of the things I worked on was this Valentine card for Digi's with Atttitude! It is a new Digi stamp that hasn't been released yet but today is the big day! Yay!!! So head on over to the shop and snap this pretty little lady right up for your lovely Valentines day Projects.

So to make my card I started out using some pearlised pink paper I got awhile ago I forget who makes it and I'm just to lazy to go look! =P Hehehe...

I used my big huge Martha Stewart punch for the first layer ( I messed up a bit because I used the wrong measurements, I didn't realise the big ones had a different formula! Dang you Martha! LOL) It's ok though i made some flowers and colored some white rosettes pink to cover my boo boo's . =D

Then I used some net tulle, Stapled it to the paper then added a strip of pop foam tape to adhear the next layer ( the white paper) for which I used another one of those wonderful punches again ;)

I inked the edges of the white layer then added my Valentine tween ( popped) on top.

I colored her with Prisma Colored pencils .

Can you belive I just colored my white roseettes pink with my copic marker!

See our challenge guidelines here

So this week at Digi's with Attitude! we released the Mermaid Tween which I so totally love. I just had to make a project for my Little niece who is a little mermaid in her own right ;D
My sister (The little mermaid's Mommy) has done her room up in mermaids
& last year I made a cute frame for her... I have worked on another album since (still not completed) & Now this! It is going to be a counting / number book! =D I might even laminate it to make it live longer.

It looks alot better in person but I couldn't get a good picture of the sheen of the papers... they are that peralized looking paper and looks really neat, it's not completed yet but I love the cover so far...

I am going to add a title (still working on one Any Suggestions)

& adding more stickles to the diecuts... Oh !

I will also be adding more ribbons and such to the rings...

the diecuts are from the Cricut cartridge Spongebob Squarepants
( bubbles, seaweed, jellyfish)

I colored my mermaid with copic & prisma markers
the added stickles.

I also added some pretty jewles to the sea weed! LOL... Glam it up right?
